Animal lovers speak out against bear bile farming

Aug 31, 2010

Cages in an Asian bear farm

Over 10,000 WSPA supporters also signed our recent petition calling for an end to bear farming in South Korea – an issue the South Korean Government is due to discuss this month.

Every one of the thousands of animal lovers who signed up to support WSPA’s Stop Bear Bile Farming campaign told the world why they want bear bile farming to stop. All of these messages speak out passionately against the physical and mental anguish that over 12,000 bears endure at the hands of the bear bile industry. Bear bile is extracted from the bears’ gallbladder, often through a permanent channel carved into their abdomen in an act of horrific mutilation. It is sold as an ingredient for medicines, beauty products and even wine. This cruel industry continues, despite the existence of proven synthetic and herbal alternatives to bear bile.  

Support WSPA’s Stop Bear Bile Farming campaign

WSPA is determined to stop the bear bile industry and is calling on all animal lovers to help. You can help by speaking out about the cruelty of bear bile farming by writing your own message about why you want bear bile farming to stop. 

By speaking out about the horrors of bear bile farming you will alert others to this issue and help WSPA to step up our efforts, and do everything we can to stop the bear bile trade.

You can help WSPA campaign against bear bile farming by donating to WSPA’s Stop Bear Bile Farming Fund.
